Tigers' Martinez likely out for year with injury
01/17/12 16:43
(Reuters) - Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will likely miss the 2012 Major League Baseball season after the four-time All-Star injured his left knee in off-season conditioning, the team said on Tuesday.
Martinez, 33, tore his anterior cruciate ligament while working out last week and an examination on Monday revealed the injury. He will be re-evaluated next week.
"If surgery is required as anticipated, Martinez will most likely be lost for the 2012 season," the Tigers said in a release.
Martinez had a .330 batting average with 103 runs batted in for the American League Central Division champions in 2011.
